= Prohibited = Mandatory

Warning: Always keep electrical components away from small children.

FLYING SAFETYTo ensure the safety of yourself and others, please observe the following precautions:

Have regular maintenance performed. Although your 12FG protects the model memories with non-volatileEEPROM memory (which does not require periodic replacement) and not a battery, it still should have regularcheckups. We recommend sending your system to the Futaba Service Center annually during your non-flyingseason for a complete checkup and service.

Use the Fail-Safe safety feature to set the throttle to low-idle in case of signal loss or RX battery failure.Engine power will be automatically reduced to help limit personal or property damage. Refer to the FailsafeSetting Procedure listed in the index.

Receiver Ni-Cd Battery

Charge the batteries! (See Charging the batteries listed in the index for details.) Always recharge the receiverbatteries for at least 8 hours before each flying session. A low battery will soon die, causing loss of control and acrash. When you begin your flying session, reset your timer, and during the session pay attention to the durationof usage.

CAUTION: The initial charge on new NiCd receiver batteries should be done for 15 hours using the slow-chargerthat came with the radio system. This will “condition” the batteries so that the next charge may be done using thefast-charger of your choice. If the initial charge is done with a fast-charger the batteries may not reach their full cap-acity and you may be flying with batteries that are only partially charged.

Where to Fly

We recommend that you fly at a recognized model airplane flying field. You can find model clubs and fields by asking yournearest hobby dealer, or in the US by contacting the Academy of Model Aeronautics. You can also contact the nationalAcademy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), which has more than 2,500 chartered clubs across the country. Through any oneof them, instructor training programs and insured newcomer training are available. Contact the AMA at the address ortoll-free phone number below.

Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Safety and Handling instructions

It is important to understand the operating characteristics of Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries. Always read the specificationsprinted on the label of your Ni-MH/Ni-Cd battery and charger prior to use. Failure to follow the proceeding precautionscan quickly result in severe, permanent damage to the batteries and its surroundings and possibly result in a FIRE!

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

Do not attempt to disassemble Ni-MH/Ni-Cd packs or cells.

Do not allow Ni-MH/Ni-Cd cells to come in contact with moisture or water at any time.

Always provide adequate ventilation around Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries during charge, discharge, while in use, andduring storage.

Do not leave a Ni-MH/Ni-Cd battery unattended at any time while being charged or discharged.

Do not attempt to charge Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries with a charger that is NOT designed for Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries,as permanent damage to the battery and charger could result.

Always charge Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries in a fireproof location. Do not charge or discharge Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batterieson carpet, a cluttered workbench, near paper, plastic, vinyl, leather or wood, or inside an R/C model or full sized automobile! Monitor the charge area with a smoke or fire alarm.Do not charge Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries at currents greater than the “1C” rating of the battery (“C” equals the ratedcapacity of the battery).

Do not allow Ni-MH/Ni-Cd cells to overheat at any time! Cells which reach greater than 140 degrees Fahrenheit(60oC) should be placed in a fireproof location.

Ni-MH/Ni-Cd cells will not charge fully when too cold or show full charge.

It is normal for the batteries to become warm during charging, but if the charger or battery becomes excessively hot disconnect the battery from the charger immediately!! Always inspect a battery which has previously overheated for potential damage, and do not re-use if you suspect it has been damaged in any way.

Do not use a Ni-MH/Ni-Cd battery if you suspect physical damage has occurred to the pack. Carefully inspect the battery for even the smallest of dents, cracks, splits, punctures or damage to the wiring and connectors. DO NOT allow the battery’s internal electrolyte to get into eyes or on skin—wash affected areas immediately if they come in contact with the electrolyte. If in doubt, place the battery in a fire-proof location for at least 30 minutes.

Do not store batteries near an open flame or heater.

Do not discharge Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries at currents which exceed the discharge current rating of the battery.

Always store Ni-MH/Ni-Cd cells/packs in a secure location away from children.

Secure Digital (SD) Memory Card Handling Instructions(SD card is not included with this set)

IMPORTANT!Use only the Futaba special charger included with this set or other chargers approved by Futaba to charge theNi-MH batteries in the 12FG transmitter and Ni-Cd batteries included with this set.

Never remove the SD card or turn off power whileentering data.

Never store the SD card where it may be subject tostrong static electricity or magnetic fields.

Do not expose the SD card to direct sunlight, excessivehumidity or corrosive environments.

Do not expose the SD card to dirt, moisture, water orfluids of any kind.

Always hold the SD card by the edges during installa-tion and removal.

Be certain to insert the SD card in the correct direction.


AT THE FLYING FIELD

Always pay particular attention to the flying field’s rules, as well as the presence and location of spectators, the winddirection, and any obstacles on the field. Be very careful flying in areas near power lines, tall buildings, or communicationfacilities as there may be radio interference in their vicinity. If you must fly away from a club field, be sure there are no othermodelers flying within a three-to-five-mile range, or you may lose control of your aircraft or cause someone else to lose con-trol.

Before flying, be sure that the frequency you intend to fly with is not in use, and secure any frequency controldevice (pin, tag, etc.) for that frequency before turning on your transmitter. It is never possible to fly two or more mod-els on the same frequency at the same time. Even though there are different types of modulation (AM, FM, PCM), onlyone model may be flown on a single frequency at any one time.

Stop flying long before your batteries become low on charge. Do not rely on your radio’s low-battery warning sys-tems, which are intended only as a precaution, to tell you when to recharge. Always check your transmitter andreceiver batteries prior to each flight.

To prevent possible damage to your radio gear, turn the power switches on and off in the proper sequence:

1. Set the throttle stick to the idle position, or otherwise disarm your motor/engine.2. Fully extend the transmitter antenna.3. Turn on the transmitter power and allow your transmitter to reach its home screen.4. Confirm the proper model memory has been selected.5. Turn on your receiver power.6. Test all controls. If a servo operates abnormally, don’t attempt to fly until you determine the cause of the problem. (For

PCM systems only: Test to ensure that the Failsafe settings are correct by waiting at least 2 minutes after adjusting. Then,turn the transmitter off and confirm the proper surface/throttle movements. Turn the transmitter back on.)

7. Start your engine.

9. After flying, bring your throttle stick to idle position, engage any kill switches or otherwise disarm yourmotor/engine.

10. Turn off receiver power.11. Turn off transmitter power.

If you do not turn on your system in this order, you may damage your servos or control surfaces, flood your engine, or inthe case of electric-powered or gasoline-powered models, the engine may unexpectedly turn on and cause a severe injury.

While you are getting ready to fly, if you place your transmitter on the ground, be sure that the wind won’t tipit over. If it is knocked over, the throttle stick may be accidentally moved, causing the engine to speed up. Also, dam-age to your transmitter may occur.

Before taxiing, be sure to extend the transmitter antenna to its full length. A collapsed antenna will reduce yourflying range and cause a loss of control. It is a good idea to avoid pointing the transmitter antenna directly at the model,since the signal is weakest in that direction.

Don’t fly in the rain! Water or moisture may enter the transmitter through the antenna or stick openings and causeerratic operation or loss of control. If you must fly in wet weather during a contest, be sure to cover your transmitterwith a waterproof barrier. Never fly if lightning is expected.

Never turn the transmitter off during flight! Switching the transmitter off and on during flight will very likely causea crash because of the time required for the transmitter to "reboot" and become fully functional.

8. Complete a full range check.

How to protect the receiver from vibration and water

Wrap the receiver with something soft such as foam rubber to avoid vibration. If there is a chance of getting wet, put the receiver in a waterproof bag or balloon to avoid water.

Receiver's antenna

Never cut the receiver's antenna. Do not bind the receiver's antenna with the cables for servos.

Locate the receiver's antenna as far as possible from metals or carbon fiber components such as frames, cables, etc.

*Cutting or binding the receiver's antenna will reduce the ra-dio reception sensitivity and range, and may cause a crash.

●Use rubber band to stretch antenna and then fix it.

●Use a rubber bushing to the position where antenna is coming out from the airframe so that the antenna won't be cut due to the friction.

●Use rubber band to stretch antenna and then fix it.Make a knot inside of the airframe so that the antenna will not fall out.

Antenna

Antenna-exitinghole

Rubber grommet orsilicon tube, etc.

Antenna

Nonmetal tube

*Use rubber grommet or silicon tube to protect the antenna from being cut or from its insula-tion peeling off at the fuselage antenna-exit hole.

*Place the receiver anten-na out from the fuselage part to the nonmetal tube installed in skid etc. Please keep antenna away from parts made of metal and carbon graphite.

Servo throw

Adjust your system so that pushrods will not bind or sag when operating the servos to the full extent.

*If excessive force is continuously applied to a servo, your aircraft may crash because the servo would be damaged and the battery would be consumed rapidly.

Mounting servos

Use a vibration-proof rubber (such as rubber grommet) under a servo when mounting the servo on a servo mount. And be sure that the servo cases do not touch directly to the metal parts such as servo mount.

*If a servo case is contacting directly to the airframe, the vibration of the airframe directly travels to and may dam-age the servo.

TRAINER Trainer system starting and setting

The Trainer function makes it possible for the instructor to choose which functions and channels are to be used for instruction, making it possible to match the training ability to the student's skill level. Two transmitters must be connected by an optional Trainer Cord, and the Instructor's transmitter should be programmed for trainer operation, as described below.

When the Instructor activates the trainer switch, the student has control of the aircraft (if MIX or FUNC mode is turned on, the Instructor can make corrections while the student has control). When the switch is released the Instructor regains control. This is very useful if the student gets the aircraft into an undesirable situation.

NOTE: This trainer system can be used in the following manner;

1. With the T12FG transmitter and a conventional transmitter, if the channel order is different. It is necessary to match the channel order in the Function setting screen when connecting it with other than a T12FG.

2. When the T12FG is used as the Teacher, set the modulation mode of the student’s transmitter to PPM. If being used as the student, set the T12FG to the modulation mode specified by the Instructor's transmitter. When the Instructor's transmitter is a T14MZ, 12Z, 12FG, T9Z, T9C or T7C transmitter, it should be switched to PPM mode.

3. Be sure that all channels work correctly in both transmitters before flying.

36 <Model Basic Setting Procedure>

MODEL BASIC SETTING PROCEDURE

1. Model addition and callInitial setting assigns 1 model to the T12FG

transmitter. The Model Select function of the Linkage Menu is used to add models and to select models which are already set.

The data for up to 30 models can be saved to the transmitter. Data can also be saved to the optional SD card.

The currently selected model name is displayed at the top of the screen. Before fl ying and before changing any settings, always confi rm the model name.

When a new model is added, the Model type select screen and Frequency/Modulation mode/Receiver ID setup screen automatically appear. Please be aware that the transmitter will stop transmitting when you change the model.

2. Model type selection Select the model type matched to the aircraft with

the Model Type select function of the Linkage Menu. For an airplane, select the model type from among the 2 types: airplane and glider. After the wing type is selected the tail type select screen is displayed. Select the tail type matched to the aircraft.

There are 13 wing types and 3 tail types for airplane and glider.

Airplane/glider basic setting procedure3. Fuselage linkage

Connect the ailerons, elevators, throttle, rudder, etc. in accordance with the model's instruction manual. For a description of the connection method, see the Receiver and Servos Connection.

Note: The channel assignment of the T12FG is different from that of our existing systems. Note that even for the same "airplane model", when the wing type and tail type are different, the channel assignment may be different. (The channel assigned to each function can be checked at the Function menu of the Linkage Menu.)

● If the direction of the servo is incorrect, adjust the direction with the Reverse function of the Linkage Menu.

● Adjust the neutral position and control surface angle with the linkage, and fine tune them with the Sub Trim and End Point functions (angle adjustment). To protect the linkage, a limit position can also be set with the End Point function. The End Point function can adjust the amount of up/down and left/right movement, limit, and servo speed of each channel.

4. Throttle cut settingThrottle cut can be performed with one touch by a

switch without changing the throttle trim position.Set throttle cut with the Throttle Cut function of

the Linkage Menu. After activating the throttle cut function and selecting the switch, adjust the throttle position so that the carburetor becomes fully closed. For safety, the throttle cut function operates the throttle stick in the 1/3 or less (slow side) position.

37<Model Basic Setting Procedure>

5. Idle down settingThe idling speed can be lowered with one touch by

a switch without changing the throttle trim position. Perform this setting with the Idle Down function of the Linkage Menu. After activating the Idle Down function and selecting the switch, adjust the idle down speed. For safety, the idle down function acts only when the throttle stick is slow side.

*While the Throttle Cut function is in operation, the Idle Down function does not work.

6. AFR (D/R)AFR function is used to adjust the throw and

operation curve of the stick, lever, and switch functions (CH1 to CH12, and V1 to V4) for each fl ight condition. This is normally used after End Point has defi ned the maximum throw directions.

7. AirbrakeThis function is used when an air brake is necessary

when taking off or diving, etc.The preset elevators and flaps (camber flap, brake

fl ap) offset amount can be activated by a switch.The offset amount of the aileron, elevator, and fl ap

servos can be adjusted as needed. Also the speed of the aileron, elevator, and fl ap servos can be adjusted. (IN side/OUT side) A delay can be set for each condition, and a Cut switch which will turn OFF the delay can be chosen. Trim amounts can be fine-tuned by setting a VR. You can also set the Auto Mode, which will link Airbrake to a stick, switch, or dial. A separate stick switch or dial can also be set as the ON/OFF switch.

8. Addition of fl ight conditionsThe Condition Select function automatically allocates

the Condition 1 (CONDIT1) for each model. Condition 1 is the default condition and is the only one active when a new model type is defi ned.

If you want to add fl ight conditions, please refer to a description of the COND. SELECT function, p.72.

*The Condition 1 is always on, and remains on until other conditions are activated by switches.

*When a new condition is added, the model data of the Condition 1 is automatically copied to the new condition.

*You can set the model data of new condition in the switch ON state. However, if the group mode (GROUP) was selected in advance, the same data will be input at all the conditions. Select the single mode (SINGLE) and adjust only the condition you want to change. For Group/Single mode switching, refer to the description at the back of this manual.

*The Condition Delay can be programmed for each channel. The Condition Delay is used to change the servo throw smoothly when switching conditions.

9. When tailless wing model selectedTailless wing elevator operation uses elevator to camber

mixing. This function cannot be performed at initial setting.


1. Model addition and callDefault setting assigns 1 model to the T12FG. To

add new models or to call a model already set, use the Model Select function of the Linkage Menu.

This is convenient when calling a model after registering the model names in advance. (The data of up to 30 models can be saved at the transmitter. Data can also be saved to the optional SD card.)

The currently called model is displayed at the top of the screen. Before fl ying and before changing any settings, always confi rm the model name.

When a new model is added, the Model Type Select screen and Frequency/Modulation mode/Receiver ID setup screen automatically appear. Change, or check that they match the type, frequency, and receiver type of the model used.

2. Model type and swash type selectionIf a different model type is already selected, select

helicopter with the Model Type function of the Linkage Menu, and then select the swash type matched to the helicopter.

*The Model Type function automatically selects the appropriate output channels, control functions, and mixing

Helicopter basic setting procedureThis section outlines examples of use of the helicopter functions of the T12FG. Adjust the actual values,

etc. to match the fuselage used.functions for the chosen model type. Eight swash types are available for helicopters.

*For a description of the swash type selection, refer to the MODEL TYPE function, p.51.

3. Flight condition additionThe transmitter can install up to eight flight

conditions per model.

The Condition Select function automatically allocates fi ve conditions for helicopter. (Initial setting) ● NORMAL ● IDLE UP1 (SW-E) ● IDLE UP2 (SW-E) ● IDLE UP3 (SW-F) ●HOLD (SW-G) Note: Since you may accidentally activate

the conditions that has not been setup during flight and this could cause a crash, delete the conditions not used.*For a description of the condition deletion, refer to the

COND. SELECT function, p.72.

The NORMAL condition is always on, and remains on until other conditions are activated by switches.

The priority is throttle hold/idle up 2/idle up 1/normal. Throttle hold has the highest priority.

Add other conditions, as required.

The Condition Delay can be programmed for each channel. The Condition Delay is used to change the servo throw smoothly when switching conditions.

(General fl ight condition setting example)● Normal: (Use initial setting conditions/operate

when switch OFF)Use from engine starting to hovering.

● Idle up 1: (Operate at SW-E center)Use in 540º stall turn, loop, rolling stall turn, and other maneuvers.

● Idle up 2: (Operate at SW-E forward side)Use in rolls.

● Throttle hold: (Operate at SW-G forward side)Use in auto rotation.


5. Throttle/Pitch curve settingThis function adjusts the throttle or pitch

operation curve in relation to the movement of the throttle stick for each condition.

<Throttle curve setting example>Call the throttle curve of each condition with the

condition select switch.●Normal curve adjustment

Normal curve creates a basic throttle curve centered near hovering. This curve is adjusted together with the pitch curve (Normal) so that the engine speed is constant and up/down control is easiest.

●Idle up curve adjustmentThe low side Throttle curve creates a curve matched for aerobatics (loop, roll, 3D, etc.).

●Throttle hold curve adjustmentThe curve is not used when performing auto rotation dives.Confi rm that the rate of the slowest position (0%) of the stick is 0% (initial setting).

<Example of pitch curve setting>Call the pitch curve of each condition with the

condition select switch.●Pitch curve (Normal)

Make the pitch at hovering approximately +5º~6º.Set the pitch at hovering with the stick position at the 50% point as the standard.

*Stability at hovering may be connected to the throttle curve. Adjustment is easy by using the hovering throttle function and hovering pitch function together.

●Pitch curve (Idle up 1)The idle up 1 pitch curve function creates a curve matched to airborne fl ight.Set to -7º~+12º as standard.

●Pitch curve (Idle up 2)The high side pitch setting is less than idle up 1. The standard is +8º.

●Pitch curve (Hold)At auto rotation, use the maximum pitch at both the high and low sides.[Pitch angle setting example]Throttle hold: -7º~+12º

4. Fuselage linkageConnect the throttle rudder, aileron, elevator,

pitch, and other servos in accordance with the kit instruction manual. For a description of the connection method, see "Receiver and Servos Connection". Note: The channel assignment of the T12FG

is different from that of our existing systems. (The channel assigned to each function can be checked at the Function menu of the Linkage Menu.)

● If the direction of operation of the servo is incorrect, use the Reverse function of the Linkage Menu. Also use the swash AFR function in other than the H-1 mode.

● Adjust the direction of operation of the gyro. (Gyro side function)

● Connect the throttle linkage so that the carburetor can fully close at full trim throttle cut.

● Adjust the neutral position at the linkage side and fi ne tune with the Sub-Trim function and End Point function (rudder angle adjustment). To protect the linkage, a limit position can also be set with the End Point function.

● Swash plate correction (Except H-1 mode)*If any interactions are noticed, for a description of the

linkage correction function, please refer to the SWASH function, p.65.


Model Menu, and set the curve for each condition. (At initial setting, this function is in the "INH" state. To use it, set it to the "ON" state.)

<Setting example>Call the mixing curve of each condition with the

condition select switch.1. A curve setting example is shown below.●Pitch to RUD mixing curve (Normal)

Use the hovering system and set this curve to match take off and landing and vertical climb at a constant speed.

*For this curve, use the initial setting [EXP1] curve type.

●Pitch to RUD mixing (Idle up 1)Use this curve in 540º stall turn, loop, and rolling stall turn, and adjust it so the fuselage is facing straight ahead when heading into the wind.

*For this curve, [EXP1] curve type can be used and the entire curve can be lowered with the [Offset] function.

●Pitch to RUD mixing (Hold)This function is set so that the fuselage is facing straight ahead at straight line auto rotation. The pitch of the tail rotor becomes nearly 0º.

*For this curve, [EXP1] curve type can be used and the entire curve can be lowered with the [Offset] function.

●Other settingsThe mixing rise characteristic at pitch operation can be adjusted. An acceleration function which temporarily increases and decreases the mixing amount can be set.

9. Throttle hold setting*If throttle hold is necessary, please refer to the THR HOLD

function, p.113.

10. Throttle cut settingThrottle cut provides an easy way to stop the

engine, by fl ipping a switch with the throttle stick at idle. The action is not functional at high throttle to avoid accidental dead sticks. The switch’s location and direction must be chosen, as it defaults to NULL.

*With throttle stick at idle, adjust the cut position until the engine consistently shuts off, but throttle linkage is not binding.

6. AFR (D/R)AFR (D/R) function is used to adjust the throw and

operation curve of aileron, elevator and rudder for each condition.

*For throttle and pitch curve settings, refer to the above-mentioned "Throttle/Pitch curve setting"

This is normally used after End Point has defi ned the maximum throw directions.

7. Gyro sensitivity and mode switchingThe gyro sensitivity and mode switching

function is dedicated gyro mixing of the Model Menu, and can be set for each condition.

●Normal condition (hovering): Gyro sensitivity maximum

●Idle up 1/Idle up 2/Thrott le hold: Gyro sensitivity minimum

●However, at auto rotation of a tail-driven helicopter, this function may not have any effect at high gyro sensitivity.

8. Pitch to RUD mixing setting Note: When using a GY601, GY502, GY401,

or other heading hold gyro, this Pitch to RUD mixing should not be used. The reaction torque is corrected at the gyro side. When operating the gyro in the AVCS mode, the mixed signal will cause neutral deviation symptoms and the gyro will not operate normally.Use this function when you want to suppress

the torque generated by the changes in the pitch and speed of the main rotor during pitch operation. Adjust it so that the nose does not swing in the rudder direction. However, when using a heading hold gyro like those shown below, do not use Pitch to RUD mixing.

Call the Pitch to RUD mixing function from the


11. Swash Mix corrects aileron, elevator and pitch interaction

The swash mix function is used to correct the swash plate in the aileron (Left/Right Cyclic) and elevator (Forward/Aft Cyclic) direction corresponding to each operation of each condition.

12. Throttle mixing setting*If throttle mixing is necessary for a compensation for

slowing of engine speed caused by swash plate operation during aileron or elevator operation, please refer to the THROTTLE MIX function, p.113.

13. Other special mixings●Pitch to Needle mixing

This mixing is used with engines with a construction which allows needle control during fl ight (fuel-air mixture adjustment). A needle curve can be set. The needle servo rise characteristics at throttle stick acceleration/deceleration operation can be adjusted. (Acceleration function)

●Governor mixingThis mixing is dedicated governor mixing when a GV-1 (governor) is used. Up to 3 rates (speeds) can be switched for each condition.

MODEL SELECT The Model Selection function performs model addition, call, deletion, copy, and model name setting.

This function is used to load the settings of the desired model into the T12FG’s memory.

The settings may be selected from either the transmitter’s built-in memory or a SD card (32MB-1GB). Remember that up to 30 model memories are available in the transmitter.

The name of the model stored in the transmitter and the SD card may be changed. This can be very useful to tell different models settings apart. Each model name can be as long as 8 characters, and the model name

always appears in the display screen.The Copy function is used to copy one set of model

data into a second memory within the transmitter and the SD card. It may be used for getting a head-start on setting up models with almost the same settings (only differences need to be modifi ed, instead of entering the complete model from scratch). Also, this function may be used to make a backup copy of a model setup before any changes are made.

FUNCTION Channel assignment of each function can be changed.

When you select model and wing (swash) types, you will find that the optimized combinations of servo output channels and functions have been already preset. If you would like, you can freely change combinations of servo output channels, functions (aileron, elevator, etc), and input controllers (sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches).

*You can also assign the same function to multiple servo output channels such as assigning elevator function to CH2 and CH3.

Note: In PCMG3 mode, combinations of three channels such as CH 1 through CH 3, CH 4 through CH 6, CH 7through CH 9 and CH 10 through CH 12 work simultaneously. Futaba recommends that you use the standard optimized default combinations of channels and functions in order to minimize servo delay when you use multiple servos to control models such as swash mode helicopters and dual elevator airplanes or fl aperon airplanes.

FAIL SAFE Sets the servos operating position when transmitter signals can no longer be received or when the receiver battery voltage drops.


The Failsafe function may be used to set up positions that the servos move to in the case of radio interference.

This function only works with G3 or PCM receivers (FM receivers do not have failsafe capability).

You may set either of two positions for each channel: Hold, where the servo maintains its last commanded position, or Failsafe, where each servo moves to a predetermined position. You may choose either mode for each channel.

The T12FG system also provides you with an advanced battery monitoring function that warns you when the receiver battery has only a little power remaining. In this case, each servo is moved to the defined failsafe position (PCM1024: CH3 only.) The battery failsafe may be released by operating a predefined control on the transmitter (default is throttle), do not continue to fly, land as soon as possible. Remember, if the predefined

WARNING For safety, always set the fail safe functions.

●Especially set the throttle channel fail safe function so that the servo moves to the maximum slow side for airplanes and to the slow side from the hovering position for helicopters. Crashing of the model at full high when normal radio waves cannot be received due to interference, etc., is very dangerous.

●If fail safe is reset by throttle stick, it may be mistaken for an engine malfunction and will be reset at throttle slow and the model will continue to fl y. If you have any doubts, immediately land.

SWASH Swash operation linkage correction function.(helicopter only, except swash type H-1)

Neutral PointAt your linkages, if the servo horn deviates from

a perpendicular position at neutral, the linkage compensation functions in this menu may not compensate effectively. To correct this use the Neutral Point function. This will move the neutral point of the servos to the actual perpendicular position. However, this adjustment changes only the axis point of the compensation functions in this menu, and does not affect the neutral position of other functions.

Swash AFRSwash AFR function reduces/increases/reverses

the rate (travel) of the aileron, elevator and collective pitch functions, by adjusting or reversing the motion of all servos involved in that function, only when using that function.

Mixing RateThis compensation mixing is used to correct

the tendency of the swash-plate for each control.

*Before making the following settings, use the EDIT dial to move the cursor to the item you want to set.

Neutral point setting procedureThe neutral point becomes the correction

standard point.*Adjusting the servo horn so that the neutral point is near the

50% position makes the mixing amount small.

the pitch operation so that the servo horn is at a right angle to the linkage rod and push the EDIT button for 1 second and read the neutral position.*The neutral point can also be displayed by bar graph.

After reading the neutral point, use the other correction functions to make further adjustments.

The following compensation mixing is possible; PIT to AIL, PIT to ELE, AIL to PIT, ELE to AIL, and ELE to PIT (HR3 mode.) It adjusts the swash-plate to operate correctly for each control using the corresponding compensation mixing.

Linkage CompensationThis compensation mixing is used to correct the

tendency of the swash-plate for pitch control at low pitch and high pitch.

Speed CompensationThis function is used to cancel the reaction that is

generated by the difference of the operation amount of each servo when the swash-plate moves.

AFR The angle and curve of each operation function can be set. [All model types]

AFR function is used to adjust the throw and operation curve of the stick, lever, and switch functions (CH1 to CH12, and V1 to V4) for each flight condition. This is normally used after End Point has defined the maximum throw. When mixing is applied from one channel to another channel, both channels can be adjusted at the same time by adjusting the operation rate through the AFR function.

● Operation curve adjustment: Three types of curves (EXP1, EXP2, and POINT) can be selected. A maximum 17 points curve can be used for the point curve type. (Initial setting: 9 points) The number of points can also be increased and decreased and curves from complex curves to simple curves can be used.

● Operation speed adjustment: The operation speed of each function when the function is operated (including at flight condition switching) can be adjusted. The function operates smoothly at a constant speed corresponding to the set speed.

PROG. MIXES Program mixing which can be freely customized. Up to 10 mixings can be used for each condition. [All model types]

Programmable mixing may be used to correct undesired tendencies of the aircraft, and it may also be used for unusual control confi gurations. Mixing means that the motion of a command channel, called the "master," is added to the motion of the mixed channel, called "slave."

You may choose to have the Master's trim added to the Slave channel response ("Trim" setting). The mixing curve can be changed so that the undesired tendencies can be corrected effectively by setting the EXP1/EXP2/POINT modes. The Delay function can be programmed for each rate. The Delay is used to change the rate smoothly when switching mixes. You may define Mixing ON/OFF switch, control or you may choose to

have mixing remaining on all the time. Mixing ON/OFF delay time can be adjusted.

The Programmable mixing includes a powerful link function, which allows Programmable mixing to be linked with the special mixing functions, or with other programmable mixing functions. The link function can be set up for Master and Slave channel individually.

The slave channel AFR mode (STK-STK mode) may be selected, where the slave channel AFR and D/R settings are observed when Link function is set. The knob for fi ne tuning can be set up for every mixing circuit. (Fine tune function)

ELEVATOR ELEVATOR 2(AILERON 5) (AILERON 6)

AILEVATOR [Corresponding model type]: Airplane/glider, V-Tail (Effective only when 2 servos used at the elevators)

This function improves the operating performance of the roll axis by operating the elevators as ailerons.

Ailevator is where each elevator in a standard (conventional) or v-tail moves independently, like ailerons on a wing. In addition to each elevator side moving up and down together, each side moves in opposite directions when moving as an Ailevator. On a V-tail, this is also known as a Ruddervator, as they can serve the same purpose. Typically, both Ailevator and ailerons are coupled together to maximize roll performance, especially on larger wingspan planes.

Note: Select Ailevator as the Model Type at the Model Type screen. This changes the output channel. Check the Function menu.

(Aileron function)● When the elevators are used

as ailerons, aileron travel of the left and right elevators can be adjusted.

WINGLET [Corresponding model type]: Airplane/glider, winglet

This function adjusts the left and right rudder angles of airplanes with winglets.

Winglets are used to improve the efficiency of aircraft lowering the lift-induced drag caused by wingtip vortices. The winglet is a vertical or angled extension at the tips of each wing.

Winglets work by increasing the effective aspect ratio wing without adding greatly to the structural stress and hence necessary weight of its structure - an extension of wing span would also permit lowering of induced drag, though it would cause parasitic drag and would require boosting the strength of the wing and hence its weight - there would come a point at which no overall useful saving would be made. A winglet helps to solve this by effectively increasing the aspect ratio without adding to the span of the wing.

(Rudder 1/2)● The travel at rudder stick left and right operation can

be individually set.

PIT CURVE/PIT TRIM

PIT CurveThis function adjusts the pitch operation curve

for each fl ight condition for the optimal fl ight state relative to movement of the throttle stick.

*Up to 17 points can be set for the point curve types. However, when using the 3 points or 5 points specifi ed to create a curve, a simple curve can be created by reducing

the number of input points to 3 or 5, and then entering the specifi ed value at the corresponding points that you created a curve.

● Point curve type is 9 points (initial), but for simple use, 4~5 points are suffi cient.

Normal curve adjustment● For normal curve, usually use [POINT] type

and create a basic pitch curve centered about hovering. Use this function together with the THR Curve (Normal) function and adjust the curve so that up/down control is best at a constant engine speed.

Idle up curve adjustment● For the high side pitch curve, set the

maximum pitch which does overload the engine. For the low side pitch curve, create curves matched to loop, roll, 3D, and other purposes and use the idle up curves according to the performance.

Throttle hold curve adjustment● The thrott le hold curve is used when

executing auto rotation dives.

Operation precautions

WARNINGWhen actually starting the engine and flying, always set the idle up condition switch to OFF and start the engine in the idling state.

THR CURVE/THROTTLE HOVER TRIM

THR Curve

This function adjusts the throttle operation curve for each condition for optimum engine speed to throttle stick movement.

Up to 17 curve points can be set for the point curve type, however, when the 5 points and other

point data is used, a simple curve can be easily created by reducing the number of input points of the curve to 5 and entering the specified value at the corresponding points.

Normal curve adjustment● Normal curve creates a basic curve

centered around hovering. Use it along with the normal pitch curve and adjust so that up/down control at a constant engine speed is easiest.

Idle up curve adjustment● Set a idle up curve that maintains a constant

speed at all times, even during operation which reduces the pitch performed in fl ight. Create a curve matched to loop, roll, 3D, or other purposes and the idle up curve according to the performance.


WARNINGWhen actually starting the engine and flying, always set the idle up condition switch to OFF and start the engine in the idling mode.

Setting method● Group/single item: When you want to

simultaneously enter the same settings to other functions, make the settings in the group mode. In this case, the same setting contents are entered to the all conditions. When you want to set each condit ion independently, make the settings after selecting the single mode (Initial setting).

PIT to RUD mixing (Revolution mixing)Use this mix when you want to suppress the

reaction torque generated by main rotor pitch and speed changes during pitch operation. Adjust so that the nose does not move in the rudder direction.

An acceleration function which temporarily increases the correction rate at throttle stick acceleration/deceleration operation can be set. The mixing rate at acceleration/deceleration can be set.





● A mixing curve is set.

<Normal condition mixing curve> The mixing curve rate starts from a small

value. For a rotor with a clockwise operation

di rect ion (polar i ty) , when pitch was operated at the plus side, set so that mixing is in the clockwise direction. First, trim at hovering and then adjust the neutral position.

1. Adjustment between slow and hovering Repeatedly hover from take off and land

from hovering at a constant rate matched to your own rhythm, and adjust the pitch so the nose does not defl ect when the throttle is raised and lowered.

2. Throttle high side (climbing and diving from hovering)

Repeat climbing and diving from hovering at a constant rate matched to your own rhythm and adjust the pitch so that the nose does not deflect when the throttle is raised and lowered.

However, when a GY Series or other heading hold gyro is used, since correction is performed by the gyro, this mix is not used. If this function is used when the gyro operation mode is the AVCS mode, the neutral position will change.

<Idle up condition mixing curve> Set the mixing rate so that the rudder direction

at high-speed fl ight is straight ahead. Adjust for each condition used.
